Incorrect link and Portal Help

If you go to the portal management page (http://www.esoui.com/portal_admin.php?id=213) and click the link at the bottom leading to the Site Help, bugs, and suggestions forum, it says it is an invalid link. (Sends you to http://www.esoui.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12 rather than http://www.esoui.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=18)

Also, is there a way to turn off the Bug section of the Portal? If someone posts there, it's pretty annoying because the Author (1) seems to never go down much. Plus, I'd rather have bugs posted on the addon page itself as comments. I get email notified, and it's split up by addon which has the error.

Thanks, fixed!

Not at the moment unless you would like to just turn your portal off all together. Good suggestion though, would also like to have a way where authors could enter their own link for bugs/features buttons.

It would still be nice if something can be done about the notifications for bug comments and also for favorite updates. They stick around, even if it was made by myself and after I already looked at them. Would be nice if we could somehow mark them as read.

You should be able to mark them all as read if you click on "Forums >> Mark Forums as read". I know it's not that intuitive but it should work.

This will affect the bug/feature notifications "Author (1)" as well?
As they stay as unread "Author (1)" even if I have updated the bug/feature entry, added a comment in there or marked them as "Not a bug" etc.
They will sometimes stay the same for days, and sometimes they will disappear after a few hours or even at once.

The one for the forum works fine, I am talking about the bug section and favorites. They have no "mark as read" and don't go away when I view them. Only after some time they disappear by themselves, but that is inconvenient.

The one for the forum should also mark bugs/features as all read too.

It goes by when your session date is refreshed and that is only done when you leave the site long enough to let your session expire or press the "Forums >> Mark Forums as read" button which should also update the date for your session.

Ok. Will try that next time. A separate button for just marking bugs and favorites in the Author menu might still be nice though, since it never came to my mind that marking all forums as read would also wipe the bugs and favorite updates.

Thanks, that's good to know! Maybe the same button could also be put on the bug page or something? With the text 'mark bugs read' or something similar?
